点评:We have just come back from a children's birthday party at Screech and we all had a really amazing time. The kids had a "Meet the Foxes" experience as part of the party and got to feed the foxes from their hands. Such a special experience.
The flying displays were exceptional, and the chap doing the talk was so knowledgeable and professional. He spoke for 45 minutes and was really clear, engaging and interesting for kids (aged 5+) and parents alike, with plenty of anecdotes about the birds' antics at the sanctuary, all while constantly guiding the birds to fly over the audience's heads or to land next to them. The birds seem really chilled and happy to fly and land on people's arms. Everyone who wanted to got a chance to have the bird land on their arm, no one was left out. (Though it was quite quiet when we went so this might not be possible when it's really busy.) The keepers have clearly put a lot of time into training the birds to trust them.
There is plenty to do and see for a whole day out with the kids. We were there from 10.30am till 4, and could have stayed longer - no one said they were bored. There is a good playground which kept the children running around for ages. The bird enclosures all look really clean and the grounds are neat and tidy. Perfect for nature lovers, and you know your entry fee is going to a good cause, too.

飞行表演精彩绝伦,讲解员知识渊博、专业素养极高。他讲解了45分钟,内容清晰易懂,生动有趣,孩子们(5岁以上)和家长们都听得津津有味。他分享了许多关于动物园里鸟类的趣闻轶事,同时还引导鸟儿飞过观众头顶或落在他们身边。这些鸟儿看起来非常放松,乐于飞翔,也乐于落在人们的手臂上。每个想让鸟儿落在自己手臂上的人都得到了机会,没有一个人被冷落。(不过我们去的时候人比较少,所以人多的时候可能就没那么容易了。)饲养员们显然花了很多时间训练鸟儿,让它们信任人类。
这里有很多适合带孩子玩一整天的活动和景点。我们从上午10:30一直待到下午4点,感觉还可以待更久——孩子们都没觉得无聊。这里有个很棒的游乐场,孩子们玩了好久。鸟舍看起来都很干净,园区也整洁有序。这里是自然爱好者的天堂,而且你知道你的门票钱会用于慈善事业。
